Loses elder brother: V D Satheesan
It was a day of great loss for the Congress movement.... I personally lost my elder brother. An uncompromising Congress fighter... PT has always been on the right side. His honest stands on environmental and women's safety issues were exemplary for public figures including myself.

Despite strong protests against the implementation of the Gadgil Report for the protection of the Western Ghats region, P T was adamant that he was on the right side. Time has proved that only P T's position was correct. Really a fighter ... Can't believe the news of the demise.
